Directions

Part one process: Strong Patrick and Jameson Beef Brisket BrineBring all ingredients to a boil, cool. Pour over brisket.Place weight on top to ensure meat is completely submerged in brine. Leave in brine for a minimum of three days.

3. Place veggies in a single layer on the bottom of a heavy bottom roasting pan big enough to hold the brisket.

4. Lay the brisket on top of the veggies.

5. Pour beer over the brisket, add stock.

6. Cover with a piece of parchment before covering tightly with tinfoil and place in a preheated 300° oven for 6-8 hours or to desired tenderness. Check with a fork after 6 hours, if it begins to flake, turn temperature down to 200° for remaining 2 hours. If it is still firm, return to 300° oven for the remainder of the cook time. Cook time may fluctuate depending on the size of the brisket.

7. When brisket is fork tender, remove tinfoil, let stand for 5-10 min before straining off liquid into a sauce pot for the gravy. Keep liquid warm for the next steps.

2. Slowly add warm braising liquid to the roux, one ladle at a time, using a whisk to remove lumps. Keep adding liquid until 1 litre is reached.
